POCKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,171, dated June 16,1885.

Application tiled May 20, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LILLY FLORENTHA RoB- ERTs, of Kentucky Town, in thecounty of Grayson and State of Texas, have invented a new and ImprovedPocket, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of my invention is to provide for the use of ladies andothers a sheet-metal pocket lined with soft material and provided with apin by means of which it may be secured to the garments.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings,forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a front elevation of my improved pocket. Fig. 2 is a rearelevation, and Fig. 3 isa vertical transverse section.

My improved pocket is designed principally for holding a watch, but itmay be adapted to other uses. It is preferably made of gold, silver, orother metal, but it may be made of leather, paper, rubber, or othersuitable material.

To the back piece, A, is secured the hollow front B, adapted to receivethe watch or other object to bel carried in the pocket. The cavityformed between the front and back is provided with a lining, c, ofplush, fur, or other suitable material, which prevents the watch fromtouching the metal ot which the pocket is formed.

To the back A, near one edge, is pivoted a pin-tongue, D, whose pointedend is secured in the catch E. As an additional means of security, theback of the pocket is provided with a chain, F, which may be hooked intoa button-hole or otherwise connected with the garments of the wearer.

In use the pocket is secured to the dressor other garment byv means ofthe pin D, which is inserted in the fabric of the garment and thenplaced in the catch E.

The pocket may be engraved, enameled, and otherwise ornamented. Itaffords a neat and durable pocket, which may be worn with any garmentand which may be readily attached or removed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent* The herein-described watch-pocket, consisting of theback A, front B, the lining O, and the fastening-pin D, pivoted to theback, the said back and front being of stiff material, substantially asspecified.
